My Latest Acquisition :)
 

This was freshly posted on craigslist last night. I emailed them, ran up to look at her today, and brought her home with me. I'm finding that sewing machines are sort of like puppies....if you go looking, something will come home with you. The couple I bought this baby from said that it was her great-great grandmother's and then her great aunt's. They used it as a lamp table and are getting ready to put the house on the market so they are getting rid of some unneeded/unused things. Unfortunately, there were no attachments or manual with her. She is also beltless. Whoever cleaned out the house when the great aunt died must have thrown everything away. There is one shuttle and a bobbin in her. She looks like she's been well cared for - cabinet is in great shape and there is no rust on the machine. According to the serial number, it was one of 60,000 serial numbers released January 2, 1904, and is a class 27.

Oh my what a beautiful cabinet ssuzz

How beautiful! Enjoy!

Wow, wow, wow that is a beautiful cabinet. Enjoy.

Beautiful, both the sewing machine but especially the cabinet. Enjoy!

wish I could see her but with dial-up that would take 'till the 4th of July. *sigh*

She is very pretty.. Use her well..

Oh my! Cudos for a treasue found.

Oh Man...is it Beautiful--lucky you!!!!

What a looker!

Lucky you! I've never seen a Singer cabinet like yours. It is so beautiful. The machine is nice too. I hope you can find a manual online and accessories too. Good luck!

I love the cabinet! The machine is pretty too but the cabinet is really in great shape.

Congratulations fellow Kentuckian! I would love to find a treadle in this good condition!!! What model is she?

Thanks the comments! According to the serial number, she is a model 27. I also forgot to mention - I paid $40 for her. They were asking $50 and when I offered $40, they jumped on it. I figure that was probably what they were hoping to get for it. I think the cabinet alone was a steal for $40!!

Very pretty! Lucky you!

That is sew beautiful! Enjoy!

Great find!! Hope you will get to find the attachments for it. Enjoy it.

What a beautiful cabinet.... and the machine is pretty great, too. Congrats!!

I had to look twice as the cabinet is SO similar to mine, lol. You have a beautiful cabinet here and a great find I might add. Congratulations on machine and cabinet; you did "good" !!

How nice to find a cabinet and machine together in such a nice clean condition. Luv, luv, luv the cabinet. I have one almost like it. I am in the process of waiting for the shellac to dry so I can put it back together. Congrats! Know you will enjoy.

WOW, what a stunning cabinet & the machine is nice too LOL. Lucky you.

What a great find! Love the cabinet - it is gorgeous.

Sew-Classic.com will probably either have the needed parts or tell you who may have them. That is a beautiful, tiger oak, 3/4 sawn cabinet. Thank you for saving her from one less thoughtful. This is a real treasure. Joe, our resident machine doctor, may have some words of wisdom for you also. Also, http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...sses-1-99.html, the only link I have for them, may be helpful. Ismacs will have downloadable versions of most manuals.
I paid for one, then found it there for free. Belts will be at Sew-Classic.com as well as most parts for vintage machine.
Ebay is also a source for parts, but buyer beware. Good luck and long life to both of you.

Thanks for the info, Donna!!

Really pretty! For some reason I just love having a long bobbin!

Beautiful cabinet. Hope you can find some attachments.
